Heh, that's a great link. I'm sympathetic; I still like to keep a paper ledger for bookkeeping and a paper checkbook register, and I'm far happier scribbling in a small notebook than trying to type with the Visor and Go!Type keyboard balanced on my lap, although I suspect that will equalize when I pick up the Very Light Small Notebook Computer I'm considering. When I'm writing, I work better with piles of printouts and sketches and handwritten diagrams around me than cycling through dozens of windows on the computer screen. I've also found no electronic solution to the Vast Encroachment of Books--only a compromise, which is to lay off the hardcover purchases (checking books out of the library helps support the authors too) and stick to paperbacks. Quick searchability is mainly what I love about big reference works becoming available electronically. I keep hoping and hoping for Roget's; that and the Trek encyclopedia have been my holy grails of electronic reference for a few years now.
